When you think of the Caribbean you can almost feel the sand between your toes, hear the steel drums and taste the coconut cocktails. Millions of tourists visit the region each year, lured by the promise of good weather and some of the world's best beaches - topped off with colourful cuisine and tropical landscapes.

The islands are a sprawling archipelago in the far west of the Atlantic Ocean, mainly between North and South America. There are hundreds to explore, but some of the best known tourist highlights are Antigua, Barbados, the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, St Lucia, and Trinidad & Tobago.

First inhabited by the Arawak Indians, the region was later invaded by the Caribs - but it wasn't long before lands were colonised by the Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, French, and British. In towns across the Caribbean you can see historic colonial buildings that reflect each of these styles, including defence fortresses, churches, grand plantation houses and ordinary homes.

Off the coast, divers can explore the colourful marine life, with pristine coral reefs and tropical fish, while back on shore there are some of the softest, gentlest white-sand beaches in the world - perhaps the Caribbean's most famous asset.

The region is also considered a biodiversity hotspot because it supports such diverse ecosystems and dozens of threatened animal species. The landscapes vary dramatically across each of the islands: some are mountainous with obvious volcanic features, including Cuba, Jamaica and Saint Lucia, whereas others such as Barbados are mainly low-lying with gently rolling pastures, tropical woodland and mangrove forests.

Whichever Caribbean destination you choose, however, you can be sure to enjoy a tropical climate, heavenly beaches, and a feast of flavours in the local restaurants.
